After all, precaution is better than cure.

31. How big are the groups?

Generally, the group size hovers around 16. The bigger the group, the lesser the fun and serenity amidst the beautiful landscapes. We don\'t have bigger groups because they take away the essence of trekking. So, we have tried to accommodate an average number of people that will end up making the trek experience blissful. When you have a small group, it’s easier for everyone to interact with each other and this adds up to the beauty of the trek. You will come across 15 other wanderlusts like you and I can assure you that you will return back home turning those strangers into friends.

31. Is it safe for female solo travellers to go in a fixed departure group with Trekmunk?

Yes, it is safe for female solo travellers to go in a fixed departure group with Trekmunk. You can completely trust us on your safety. We never compromise when it comes to safety and security of our travellers. Till now, many independent and solo female travellers have completed a lot of treks along with us. There was no complaint or disappointment by any of our members. All of them returned back home happily. They have given satisfied reviews and are keen to hike a trek again with us in the future. You can check the reviews on our website for more details.

32. I can’t carry my bag can anyone carry it for me( Portage/Offloading of bags?

During the Nag Tibba trek, you do have an option to offload your bags. Just shoot us a mail if you wish to offload your bags and your wish will be our command. But, we do prefer that you carry your own bags as that is one major spirit of trekking. So, if you plan on carrying your own stuff, you have to make sure that you are completely fit to carry your own loads and able to walk a complete a total Nag Tibba trek distance of 11 kilometers which includes some steep slopes and difficult patches. We will have a lot of rest intervals in between the trek. So, we advise you to carry your loads and complete the amazing Nag Tibba trek on your own.

33. How many trekkers will be in one tent?

Generally there are only two persons in a single tent. In some cases, we can accommodate three trekkers in a tent but that is very rare. We are also flexible if you want a tent mate of the same gender. You should always try to follow the norms of the tentmate etiquettes in order to have a warm and happy stay inside the tent. It is very important to create a healthy environment inside the tent. We can assure you that you may enter the tent as strangers but when you shall return back, you will go back to becoming good mates.

34. What is the level of fitness expected from the participants?

We believe that if you have a basic level of fitness, you can do this Trek. Chances of altitude sickness are rarely reported. You can start your trip after completing your office on Friday evening and be back in the office on Monday morning. Blame your tiredness on Monday blues with the happy memories of your weekend getaway. A lot of people claim to find this trek very interesting to refresh themselves amidst their daily routine life that is filled with boredom. You are assured to get an amazing company of wanderlusts alongside you.

35. Do you think I should bring some medicines with me?

Yes, generally you should always consult a doctor before going for a trek if you think you have breathing or any other problems. So make sure you consult an experienced doctor and tell him about all your past medical history and symptoms. Acknowledge him about the altitude you are planning to climb and the difficulty level of the trek. He will probably suggest you prophylaxis medication or else a prescription of acetazolamide. All these drugs are tested and it is proven to reduce the incidence and severity of altitude sickness.
You should also carry some basic medicines like Paracetamol, Crocin, Diamox, Avil, Combiflam, Norflox, Crepe Bandage, Digene etcetera.

36. Can we change the itinerary?

No, it is not possible to change the itinerary of the trek. We take a lot of members alone with us for a trek and it is difficult to change the plan at the last moment except if trek leaders feel like it needs to be changed due to bad weather or any other natural calamity. Moreover, when you do a high altitude trek, it becomes very important to have a planned schedule. Otherwise, things may get worse because there are many factors that can affect a trek. So, to have a successful trek experience, it is important to trust the trek leaders and follow the planned schedule.
Just in case you have a personal batch, you can talk about this when you book and our back end team can figure out if there is any possibility of this happening.

37. Can we customize this trek?

Yes, Trekmunk allows you to customise the Nag Tibba trek according to you. The starting date, the itinerary, the food menu, everything can be set according to you in a tailor-made batch which is just for you and/or your friends and family. To opt for a customized batch, please drop a mail or call us and we can have it arranged within no time.

38. What is AMS? How to prevent it?

During the Nag Tibba or any other trek or any other mountain expedition, we are ought to travel to high altitudes. As we ascend, due to change in elevation, there is a change in various other factors such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, radiation, and oxygen saturation. The temperature and atmospheric pressure gradually fall down and the ultraviolet(UV) radiation increases with an increase in altitude. Moreover, the humidity and oxygen level tends to lower down. These changes have an adverse effect on our body and sometimes our body fails to withstand it. Due to these changes, there arises a condition called altitude sickness or Acute Mountain Sickness(AMS). The prevention tips are:

You should always try to ascend a mountain as slowly as possible.

It will be good if you plan a few extra days and spend it acclimatizing after every 3000 feet.

Before starting to ascend, make sure you have a day of rest and a night of tight sleep.
